Watch list for 2015
Watch list for 2015
I hope this topic is not too late for a brand new year.
I always wish to own a Rolex GV Milgauss (just did a search: one is selling at $6,890) and thinking of using my 16610 (should be able to fetch $5,500) to trade with top-up.
After discussed with my wife, she like my 16610 not Milgauss.
Sad la, can't change. But it OK if can't change now, dun force a compromise. Then each time, I can still dream of my WANT Milgauss and shiok.
What your watch list for 2015.

Watch list for 2015... most likely...
With the sudden shock of SWISS FRANC in the beginning of the year... 2 concerns will affect buyers decisions.
If SWISS FRANCs is continue to go up north, it will eventually affect the movement prices as well as parts and other Swiss precision components in watches made either in Switzerland or other parts of Europe. Eventually, be it Swiss Made or other region made, mega group or independents produce, watches from Europe will have higher price adjustment this year... but, just when?
Should this sudden "rising" shock is just a temporary small bump, what guarantees that mega groups or some small independent makers will not jack up their prices on the finish products? Hmmm...
So... most likely this year, i guess most of the watches in my shopping list is likely going to be more japs make again...

Re: Watch list for 2015
I think the large watch makers and groups can afford to keep prices the same. Hardest hit will probably be the smaller players that have no economies of scale nor the deep reserves to ride this out?

The SNB remove the cap to Euro to escape from the Euro QE that will deflat the franc.Ed.YEO wrote:With the sudden shock of SWISS FRANC in the beginning of the year... 2 concerns will affect buyers decisions.

When the franc remains strong, swiss will be able to buy more import and raw materials with their strong currency. If they are decent in their business ethics, they can maintain or lower their selling pricepoint for their each item is manufacture at a cheaper cost due to the strength of franc.
When their goods are price out of market, they will have to tune their price till ppl wants to buy again.
SNB dun intervent directly into their consumer market, main thru interest rates adjustments.
But true to that, swiss watches are luxury, so price wise to their consumer may not be not a concern. The lower priced goods will be more impacted.
I can be wrong for man are greedy. Haha

Re: Watch list for 2015
This is certainly a perfect picture for the consumers hope on Swiss Watch Industry... Unfortunately, looking back @ 2012 when Euro Crisis were about the same as now... Swiss Makers(movements and parts) were still not toning down on their selling price to Watch Manufacturers.Stan80 wrote:...

This could be a time for the big players to make it big, so as the Swiss Government.
This is a good time for the Japs and Chinese to strike it big!
I wonder what the big players such as SEIKO and CITIZEN, SEAGULL and SHANGHAI is brewing under their sleeves...

Re: Watch list for 2015
Yeah!!! According to heritage, Swiss watch makers are generally confident as the world will tend to associate them to the watch making industry, that is why they dare to price themselves out of the general consumer markets.Ed.YEO wrote:This is certainly a perfect picture for the consumers hope on Swiss Watch Industry...

When the Japs and Chinese starts to strike it big and more consumers recognizing them, we will be able to see how the Swiss response. 2015 to 2017 can be the years for Japs and Chinese to further stamp their marks as the Swiss are relatively quiet for quite a while....
